“Call of Duty: Ghosts” Cinematic Storyboards – Part 4
This sequence was the load movie for the final mission of the video game- the big showdown, the final push of the forces of good versus the forces of evil. D-Day. Armageddon. All in. The plan? Knock out the satellite defenses in orbit which will allow the tank forces to breach the command control center…

Visa “Nuts-ish”
It’s what happens when you get a new Visa card. You go a little “nuts-ish”. You’ve got all this newfound spending power, and your imagination goes kinda nuts, to the point that your living room is transformed into a playden of impulse purchases. You’re camping in the woods with your buddy, backpacking in the Himalayas…

Call of Duty: Ghosts – Cinematic Storyboards Pt. 3
This was a cool sequence- here we attempted to tell the story of how the balance of wold power shifted in this fictional universe and fostered the rise of the fascist warmongers in South America (it’s a video game, folks, not CNN). We open on a nuclear blast in the middle east- the fallout of…

Call of Duty: Ghosts – Cinematic Storyboards Pt 2 – “Clockwork”
It’s awesome when the final product closely resembles the storyboards. It clearly demonstrates success of the artist in his role as a visual storyteller. In this side-by-side comparison, you can see my original boards on the left and the final screenshots on the right. In storyboarding this sequence, I first reviewed the script and thought…

“Call of Duty: Ghosts” Part 1
On November 5, Activision released CoD: Ghosts, the hotly anticipated successor to the Call of Duty franchise. It’s set to make a bajillion dollars and influence untold impressionable young minds- and so I’m excited to share my small part in it.

Celebrity Apprentice / Walgreens Storyboards

Sometimes the celebrities not only endorse products, but also the retailers that the products are sold in, and even the charities that benefit from the sales of the products, and ultimately the show that features the celebrities that compete to benefit the…

Pitch Boards – Living Social
Here’s some boards I did last year for one of my agency clients, presenting campaign ideas for Living Social, that cool company that sells discounted experiences to adventurous adults. That’s the basic theme of these boards, to show people having fun doing things they wouldn’t normally do, like skeet shooting (for girls), painting nude models,…

Kingsford Charcoal “Mother’s Day”
This week’s storyboard is from a Kingsford Charcoal commercial, aired around Mother’s Day in 2012. It’s a humorous yet touching interaction between father and son as they discuss the merits of going the extra mile for Mom… vs slappin’ some meat on the grill and eating like Real Men. Luckily, Mom’s down for steak too.…

Sport Chek “Determination”
Here’s a spot I worked on earlier this year- A Sport Chek commercial starring NHL player Sidney Crosby. The premise is very straightforward- many slow motion shots of Sidney training hard in the gym, with the speed ramping up and building in intensity, and abruptly ending with tagline and logo lockup. I like working on…

Beachy Breezy boards for Gillette
It’s late and I drank too much coffee- might as well post some storyboards! Right? So here we go: A few months back I had the pleasure of working on a Gillette spot for their 3 Venus Summer Goddess Embrace line of razors- I’m sure there’s a distinct shaving advantage for each one, but, being…

Sparkling Ice
So if you’re in LA, you’ve probably noticed these Sparkling Ice billboards going up everywhere- I know I see three of them when I commute to the west side. You might have also seen their TV spot as well! Well, I storyboarded it. First, take a look at the video, and then I’ll discuss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaUYJSjNTvg…
